wandering thoughts...my K-World

[thoughts on episodes 13 and 14] A New Leaf is still one of the dramas that is interesting and although the pace of the story has become slow in the last couple of weeks, and the legal terms are really [seriously!] making my brains muddled and confused trying to catch up, the story is as appealing as ever since episode 1. Setting aside the corporate side of the story, I am liking the parts where Seok Joo and his father interact. The sudden change in Seok Joo which resulted in the accident makes him more human, humble and loving towards his father. For the first time, I think he sees his father's good traits which I doubt he even realized while growing up. The path he took which was so opposite to his father's principles maybe born out of being successful in his field of work, still it somehow showed how he never respect his father's thoughts about his choices.

Episode 7 Kim Seok Joo representing Jung Hye Ryeong in a murder case became a big news. Everyone who knew about the previous case could not believe he will help her. Some concluded it is about guilt. His colleagues in the office are all astounded especially when Park Dong Hyeon's father got mad at Cha Young Woo and pulled out all the cases they have with the firm. They are blaming Seok Joo and questioning Cha Young Woo's nonchalant attitude through it all. Cha Young Woo is still keeping his thughts to himself. But I think he is weighing everything in his mind about Seok Joo and his decisions recently. He is still keeping his memory loss in the office. He still does not want to let go of Seok Joo. He is just taking everything in and watching from a distance how the events will unfold. Where Seok Joo will go with his decisions. He tried to persuade him to let go of the case and just find another lawyer who is suited and have the capability to carry on with the case. ...

Kim Seok Joo is like a lost genius little boy . He has not yet recovered his memories about himself but no problem with what he learned as a lawyer. He retains his intelligence but when it comes to everyone who he has met, dealt and became friends with, he has no recollection. The story is about a man who was eaten by his success as a lawyer. Whatever follows, all decisions and perceptions were all because of his mindset. He uses his mind to control his emotions. It became a habit. An integral part of him that without knowing, he let go of what his heart is telling him. But now, after the accident, with no memory, his heart is once again taking over. Letting inner conscience to whisper and make him uncomfortable enough to change his thoughts and actions. Episode 5 & 6 Short Recap Seok Joo feels bothered by his lost memories. He can't forget the spat he got from Jung. Alone, he questions, ponders and perhaps feels confused of his decisions about each case he handled...
